Sally has illustrated more than 30 books for young readers. Her most recent picture book, One Step at a Time (written by Jane Jolly), won an honour in the 2016 CBCA Book of the Year awards. Their new collaboration, Papa Sky, will be released in October.
Sally’s commissioned artwork ranges in scale from wine labels through to a mural for the Singapore Zoo. Her work has been recognised through fellowships from Asialink, Arts SA and others. Her original pieces have been widely exhibited in Australia and Asia and are held in collections around the world.
Saint Ignatius Art Show is thrilled to partner with Kaltjiti Arts, an Aboriginal art centre in the remote community of Fregon in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia.
The art centre is the heart and cultural focal point of the small community, serving as place of inspiration and creativity. Through their artwork, Indigenous elder artists teach the younger generations about cultural traditions and stories, passing on knowledge which in turn was passed down through their ancestors. The art works are beautiful, varied and imbued with narrative.

“Above all, we are coming to understand that the arts incarnate the creativity of a free people. When the creative impulse cannot flourish, when it cannot freely select its methods and objects, when it is deprived of spontaneity, then society suffers.” ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The Saint Ignatius Art Show is thrilled to be able to partner with the community based, Aboriginal art centre in the remote community of Fregon in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia.
The artists of Kaltjiti Arts produce paintings as the primary art form as well as limited edition prints in the form of etchings. The artistic styles at Kaltjiti Arts are varied and explore many different expressions of mark making that translate and are inspired by the surrounding arid landscape that is rich with colour, form, and embedded with ancient stories of the region.
James Parker (artist, artshow committee member and parent) has recently returned from an extended visit in the APY Lands with the Kaltjiti artisits and Bev Peacock, as arts manager has enthusiastically supported the Saint Ignatius Art Show for 2017. The art works and paintings are beautiful and varied. The pieces will be a draw card to the art show for experienced art enthusiasts and people new to art appreciation.
2017 Kaltjiti Art is bold, tender, full of growth and narrative. The Saint Ignatius Art Show will be enhanced by the contribution made by the varied artists who live in the centre of this country and who paint the stories from their hearts. In August, you too might be captivated by these piece.
In anticipation…..
